However, understanding the fullimpact of the hiring process in computing, and in particular, how it affects groups alreadyunderrepresented in computing (women, Black/African American, and Hispanic/Latinx workers),is important to creating a workplace of diverse talent [4–6]. Given the paucity of rigorousresearch surrounding the steps in the process, our motivation for this work was to create acomprehensive assessment of what hiring in computing looks like from the perspective of the jobseeker.

We consider problem solving, student experience, and technical skills withan emphasis on the relationship between practical skill acquisition and participation in computingactivities outside of students’ coursework. The course modules give students a sampling ofcomputer science topics with common problem-solving heuristics connecting them. Ourinstructional strategies involve a hybrid of teacher-directed and active learning approaches. Ourintention is that this

implies both a temporal dimension, in which organizations are improving all thetime, and a spatial dimension, in which organizations are improving all of their departments,units or divisions. In order to accomplish CI, Deming proposes utilizing the Plan-Do-Check-Act(PDCA) cycle for improvement at any stage [2]. PDCA is a 4-step cycle that repeatscontinuously through which organizations create a plan, execute it, review the results, and finallymake any corrective action before starting again.While Deming’s work was mainly directed towards business, academia took notice. The terms“Continuous Improvement” and “Total Quality Management” started to show up in highereducation research papers by the late 1980’s and early 1990’s [3]. CI then found its
